The relaxation and impendance methods were applied to the study of electrode reaction on bismuth electrode immersed in pure molten bismuth chloride. The found kinetic and activation parameters are compared with the similar ones for other pure molten chlorides.

In any surface reaction taking place in a Solution, it is clear that the concentration of the reactants in the vicinity of the surface must fall. If the concentration in the bulk of the solution remains constant, a steady state may finally be reached, in which the rate of replenishment of the solution in this region, from the bulk, is equal to the rate at which the reactant in question is used up. But, in general, such a state is only attained when the concentration at the surface is less than that in the rest of the solution. If the reaction considered is an electrode reaction, these concentration changes may affect the electrode potential. This question is therefore of importance in the study of overpotential, and of the kinetics of electrode processes generally. The overpotential at an electrode is defined as the potential difference between this electrode and a similar unpolarized reversible electrode in the same solution. In practice this reference electrode is usually situated outside the region affected by the concentration changes near the electrode at which the reaction is taking place. The measured potential difference between the two electrodes, i.e. the measured overpotential, may therefore include a term due to the concentration difference.

The kinetics of oxidation of [Co(en)2SCH2COO]+ with S2O82- was studied in water-methanol and water-tert-butyl alcohol mixtures. Changes in the reaction activation parameters ∆H≠ and ∆S≠ with varying concentration of the co-solvent depend on the kind of the latter, which points to a significant role of salvation effects. The solvation effect on the reaction is discussed based on a comparison of the transfer functions ∆Ht0, ∆St0 and ∆Gt0 for the initial and transition states with the changes in the activation parameters accompanying changes in the CO-solvent concentration. The transfer enthalpies of the reactant were obtained from calorimetric measurements.

The kinetics of oxidation of arsenic(III) by hexachloroiridate(IV) at lower acid concentrations and at constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3 have been investigated spectrophotometrically. A first-order reaction in [IrCl62-] and fractional order with respect to arsenic(III) have been observed. A kinetic evidence for the formation of an intermediate complex between the hydrolyzed arsenic(III) species and the oxidant was presented. The results showed that decreasing the [H+] is accompanied by an appreciable acceleration of the rate of oxidation. The activation parameters have been evaluated and a mechanism consistent with the kinetic results was suggested.

The kinetics of the reactions of iron(III) with 6-methyl-2,4-heptanedione and 3,5-heptanedione to form the corresponding monocomplexes have been studied spectrophotometrically in the range 5 °C to 16 °C at I 25 mol l-1 in aqueous solution. In the proposed mechanism for the two complexes, the enol form reacts with the metal ion by parallel acid-independent and inverse-acid paths. The kinetic constants for both pathways have been calculated at five temperatures. Activation parameters have also been calculated. The results are consistent with an associative activation for Fe(H2O)63+ and dissociative activation for Fe(H2O)5(OH)2+. The differences in the results for the complexes of heptanediones studied are interpreted in terms of steric factors.

Isopotential points in square-wave voltammetry are described for the first time. Model calculations and real measurements (performed with UO22+ and Eu3+ in perchlorate and bromide solutions, respectively) indicate that such an intersection could be observed when backward components of the net response, resulting from an increase in frequency or reactant concentration, are presented together. The electrode reaction should be fully reversible because quasireversible or slower electron transfer processes give the isopoints only at increasing reactant concentrations but not at increasing square-wave frequencies. The effect could be used as an additional diagnostic criterion for recognition of reversible electrode reactions where products remain dissolved in the electrolyte solution.

AbstractThe in-situ stabilization of Ag nanoparticles is carried out by the use of reducing agent and synthesized three different types of hydrogen (anionic, cationic, and neutral) template. The morphology, constitution and thermal stability of the synthesized pure and Ag-entrapped hybrid hydrogels were efficiently confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The prepared hybrid hydrogels were used in the decolorization of methylene blue (MB) and azo dyes congo red (CR), methyl Orange (MO), and reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and nitrobenzene (NB) by an electron donor NaBH4. The kinetics of the reduction reaction was also assessed to determine the activation parameters. The hybrid hydrogen catalysts were recovered by filtration and used continuously up to six times with 98% conversion of pollutants without substantial loss in catalytic activity. It was observed that these types of hydrogel systems can be used for the conversion of pollutants from waste water into useful products.
